Overview
- Case Keenum, making his first regular-season appearance since 2023, completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards with two passing touchdowns and added a rushing TD to power Chicago to a 27-7 victory on Monday night.
- Chicago started Keenum because Caleb Williams was sidelined by a hamstring issue and Tyson Bagent was unavailable after concussion protocol clearing came late in the week.
- Chicago’s defense produced three takeaways, repeatedly stalled Philadelphia drives and helped convert short fields into points that turned a close first half into a decisive blowout.
- The Eagles committed multiple costly errors, including a backup Andy Dalton interception in the red zone, a Hurts interception on fourth-and-5, numerous penalties and missed tackles that coaching staff members called communication failures.
- The result raises a near-term roster question for the Bears about who should start while the Eagles head into a short week needing quick corrections; both teams shift focus to their next games and a season already shaped by early quarterback injuries leaguewide.
